In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Easton Neston like this:

It contains Hulcote and Showsley; and its post town is Towcester. Acres, 1, 703. Real property, £3, 179. Pop., 160. Houses, 36. The property is all in one estate. ...
Easton Hall is the seat of the Earl of Pomfret; was built partly by Sir Christopher Wren, but has been very much altered; and formerly contained a splendid collection of ancient marbles and pictures, given in 1755 to the University of Oxford. A Cistertian priory stood near Neen-wood, and has left some vestiges in a farm-house. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Peterborough. Value, £151. Patron, the Earl of Pomfret. The church is ancient, with a tower; contains many curious monuments; and is good. There is a free school.
